Answer:
8.1 N/49 N=0.1653 which means 16.53% of the weight of the object on Earth.
Explanation:
On the Moon, where the gravitational constant is 1.62 , the weight of the 5 kg object will be:
Where the answer is in Newtons (N) since all quantities are given in the SI system.
On Earth, on the other hand, the weight of the object is:
Therefore the object's weight on the Moon compared to that on Earth will be:
That is, 16.53% of the weight the object has on Earth.
Normally, the water pressure inside a pump is higher than the vapor pressure: in this case, at the interface between the liquid and the vapor, molecules from the liquid escapes into vapour form. Instead, when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure, molecules of vapour can go inside the water forming bubbles: this phenomenon is called cavitation.
So, cavitation occurs when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure. In our problem, vapour pressure at
is 1.706 kPa. Therefore, the lowest pressure that can exist in the pump without cavitation, at this temperature, is exactly this value: 1.706 kPa.
So, cavitation occurs when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure. In our problem, vapour pressure at
